Route name: El Casco Antiguo de Lorca: Visita gratuita en español
NB; The tourist office is able to arrange English language tours for groups by prior arrangement and offers this visit in English from time to time (see what's on section of Lorca Today for scheduled dates).
Lorca is a city rich in history, its strategic position above the Guadalentín Valley having attracted human settlers for thousands of years. The municipal archaeological museum shows a wide selection of artifacts dating back into prehistory, tracing the various settlements which left remains in Lorca: The Argarics, Iberians, Moors, Jews and Christians. The imposing Mediaeval castle dominates the skyline, the Jewish synagogue of the Jewish quarter just below it still surviving intact, and the city at its foot filled with ornate Baroque buildings.
On this tour an official regional tour guide shows visitors the most important historical buildings in the old quarter of central Lorca.
The tour is in Spanish, but as with all of these tours, there is plenty to see, leaflets are available in English from the tour office, and once armed with a map and this basic orientation, the city can be revisited at any time and the locations explored at leisure.
The visit leaves from outside the Tourist information point in the Plaza de España at 11.30 in the morning.
